All Pokédex entries regarding this Pokémon explain that it was originally an alien virus that fell to earth in a meteor. Exposure to a laser beam mutated the virus's DNA, resulting in the Pokémon Deoxys. Upon further exposure to meteorites, Deoxys's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Deoxys|Forme]] will change. Deoxys has four formes, adapted for survivability in the wild, and its specialized formes have some of the highest [[base stats]] of any Pokémon. The crystalline organ on its chest appears to be its brain, a departure from typical terrestrial Pokémon biology. Deoxys are described by the Pokédex as highly intelligent, possessing psychokinetic abilities, and are associated with auroras.

A Deoxys is encountered at the conclusion of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]’s [[Delta Episode]]. After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.

===={{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}====
Starmie are said to be extraterrestrials because of their star-shape and their seven colored core, which emits radio signals into space at night. Staryu behave similarly, gathering at night and flashing their red cores to communicate with the stars. They are also known to have remarkable regenerative abilities, including {{m|Recover}} and {{a|Natural Cure}}.

===={{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}}====
Lunatone and Solrock are said to have come from space and to draw their power from lunar and solar rays, respectively. They are both known as "Meteorite Pokémon," as they were discovered [[Meteor Falls|near a meteorite strike site]] approximately 40 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon X and Y]].

===={{p|Elgyem}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}====
Elgyem and Beheeyem allegedly appeared 50 years prior to the events of {{2v|Black|White}} in the [[Desert Resort]]. It is unknown how or why they appeared, although rumors of its origin are linked to a UFO crash site. This could be explained by their ability to rewrite the memories of the people and Pokémon around them. They survive hostile encounters by using their {{t|psychic}} powers to confuse opponents. In the present day, they are no longer found in the desert, and have relocated to high up in the [[Celestial Tower]] and on [[Unova Route 14]], respectively. In {{2v|Black|White|2}}, Beheeyem are no longer found in Unova Route 14. These Pokémon appear to be based on alien conspiracy theories including {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories concerning Area 51|those surrounding Area 51}} and the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}.

===={{p|Eternatus}}====
===={{p|Eternatus}}====
Eternatus crashed from a meteor 20,000 years ago and nearly destroyed the Galar region in an event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. Some parts of its body fell off and became [[Wishing Star]]s, which are responsible for the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. [[Rose]] tried to revive this Pokémon, but was stopped by {{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}}.
Eternatus crashed on the planet 20,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword and Shield]] and stayed asleep for 17,000 years until it awakened and nearly destroyed the whole Galar region by creating a huge storm over it, this event was known as the [[Darkest Day]]. Before the region was destroyed however, [[Legendary heroes|two Pokémon]] and [[Ancient Galarian Kings|two humans]] worked together to take it down, causing [[Wishing Star|many]] [[Wishing Piece|pieces]] of its body to rain down around the region and it to lose its [[Eternamax|original form]]. 3000 years later, chairman Rose tried to ressurect Eternatus and bring back the Darkest Day, but Eternatus was defeated once again by the two Pokémon that defeated it and [[Hop|two]] [[Victor (game)|more]] [[Gloria (game)|humans]].

{{p|Arceus}} lives in a high dimension<!--source?-->, from which it stands guard over the entire [[Pokémon world]]. In the games, this dimension is the [[Hall of Origin]]. The only way to get there is by blowing on the [[Azure Flute]], which was never legitimately released until Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus, at the [[Spear Pillar]], the highest point in [[Sinnoh]].

The Ultra Beasts are native to the dimension known as [[Ultra Space]], which on rare occasions becomes connected with the [[Pokémon world]] via spacetime anomalies called [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. While the Ultra Beasts normally stay within Ultra Space, they can on occasion become stranded outside of it due to the formation of an Ultra Wormhole that leaves them unable to return. This can prove to be dangerous for anyone nearby, as the disorientation involved can often cause them to become violent.
